About this instance

Community Credentials Canada

All-Canadian recognition for Canadian organizations and small businesses. Powered by Badgefed, built by Your Community.

Our Purpose

Community Credentials Canada is a Canadian pilot partner of CommunityCredentials.org, providing a low-cost digital credential program for volunteer recognition, donor acknowledgement, organizational achievements or community and event participant identification.

Digital credentials can be displayed as badges or certificates, and are shareable across most Fediverse platforms, but can also be displayed on LinkedIn and Github profiles, or presented as QR codes or links from any Badge Wallet.

Contact

Community Credentials Canada is presently offered by VocalCat LLC and supported by Stone Soup Community Technology.

Reimagine Festival Canada

ReimagineFest

The Festival for Reimagining the Economy is a Canadian-centred, but not Canadian-exclusive, hybrid unconference event. Participants gather virtually or in-person to discuss, explore, teach and learn about all aspects of Wellbeing Economies. This open space for co-creation, generativity and connection was offered by WEAll Canada with the support of the David Suzuki Foundation.
